Insomnia : The Ticking Time Bomb

What is Insomnia? What is insomnia? Insomnia is when a person has any sleep related difficulties, mainly falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early in the morning.  Each of these can be extremely irritating and can affect the way that the rest of your day plays out. This is because when you do get up you are still tired and not refreshed.  Over a period of time people who suffer from insomnia tend to develop mood disorders, they lack motivation, the inability to concentrate, lack of energy, and constantly being tired. People need adequate sleep in order to maintain a healthy and productive life. It has been said that people spend about 1/3 of their lifetimes sleeping.  That…

The Essential Maintenance Of Health: Vitamin D

Probably 50% or more of the population is vitamin D deficient. Why? Because most of us do not spend enough time outside to accumulate sufficient amounts of this crucially important substance.  Vitamin D (which is actually more of a proto-hormone) is absolutely essential for proper calcium and phosphorous absorption, and is also thought to be protective against multiple diseases such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.  The correct regulation of calcium and phosphorus makes for strong bones and teeth, while the protection against disease also suggests a positive effect on cellular mitochondria – the manufacturers of energy throughout every cell in your body.  Vitamin D also supports good cardiovascular health, so what’s not to love about this health-promoting…

“Alternative” Medicine Should Be PRIMARY

It never ceases to amaze me how today’s standard healthcare system – funded in no small part by pharmaceutical giants – has managed to turn prescription drug dispensement into what is currently known as “primary care.”   You see it everywhere, and I’ve already written about it in a prior blog post.  Again, I’m no conspiracy theorist and I honestly do NOT believe that such corporations are inherently evil.   Prescription drugs have their place in modern medicine, and we all owe a tip of the cap to scientific advancement in the world of human health, for reasons that I don’t believe I need to enumerate for you. That said, these enormous drug manufacturers hold such power in the world of modern…

The Benefits of a Health Detox for Your Overall Vitality

What is Detox? And How it can Benefit You In today’s modern world, environmental pollution, unhealthy food chains and diets, and a number of illnesses are becoming so rampant.   Worse is that in spite of the growing support for the development of medical facilities, thousands of people are still not aware of how it feels like to be truly healthy and full of verve and energy.   Many are continually consuming foods that are said to be better and bigger for health, without knowing how healthy and how capable the foods are for sustaining life.   Unfortunately, it is this constant ignorance which actually puts people to risk, with the environmental pollution and all sorts of toxic wastes entering the body through…

Women’s Health: Hormonal Imbalance & Restoring it the Natural Safer Way

A number of novels and stories of the early 18th and 19th centuries often portray women as mad and irrational beings, thus, espousing the creation of mad women literature.  But, modern medicine dispels this “mad” attribute. By establishing that women’s hormones are more sensitive and susceptible to change than that of men, more attention is given to female health.  Menstruation, menopause, PMS, and perimenopause – these are all part and parcel of general health topics related to women.  Aside from that similarity of being part of female health, these phenomena are due to one thing: hormonal changes.  Hormones are fickle, they change with the slightest variation in diets or physical activity. Sometimes even emotional upheavals are enough to make women’s…
